Are you experiencing overwhelming emotions, and uncomfortable physical symptoms or does life feel like it is "too much"?
Perhaps your behaviour has recently changed and you are finding it hard to make a decision, focus on work or concentrate on conversations.
Are you finding it difficult to connect and maintain your relationships and feel disconnected from your friends and family?
Most adults develop strong coping skills, but certain adverse life events from your past, which have been overwhelming and can be traumatic, can sometimes be too much to process. Eventually, we all have the potential to develop a wide range of troubling and confusing symptoms.
As a body-oriented psychotherapist, I support you in listening to and understanding your body’s voice. Together, we will find your way to connect to your body’s inner wisdom and release the trapped survival energy so you can….
Better connect to your loved ones.
Let go of your physical pain.
Feel grounded, safe and joyful

Are you an active or retired first responder, medical professional, corrections officer or mental health professional?
Have you experienced difficult or inconsistent relationships with family, friends or intimate partners? It may be related to your childhood experience.
Do you struggle with maintaining your emotions? Do you feel that you are "fine" one day and the next feels like you are sliding sideways?

AMW Counselling & Consultation respectfully acknowledges that we are situated on the traditional lands of the Michi Saagig or Mississaugas of the great Anishinaabe (uhnishi-nahbe) Nation(1), territory covered by the Williams Treaties. The name Anishinaabe is derived from an-ish-aw, meaning “without cause” or “spontaneous”, and the word in-au-a-we-se, meaning “human-body”. This translates to mean “spontaneous man”.(2) Lands that were stolen. Lands that are unceded.
This statement is an acknowledgement of the thousands of generations of people who have care for and continue to take care of this land – since time immemorial. We deeply appreciate their ongoing connection to this area of Turtle Island, both in shaping and strengthening this community and country as a whole. We are dedicated to learning how we can integrate and commit to the promise and the challenge of Truth and Reconciliation real in our community.
